we should not even be talking about the big three. the big three did not get us in this problem. it was the bush tax cuts, it was the unfunded wars, it was big pharma. that's what brought us to where we are right now. it wasn't the elderly. it wasn't the poor. it wasn't those who are sick and need help. those people have nothing to do with the elite on wall street. it's easy for the gang of six to stand up and say sure, they can serve it up a little bit more. and these code sentences that are used about, well, we're going to try to make it stronger. you show me a cut to somebody who's living on a fixed income, i'll show you a cut. tonight, mr. president, i beg you don't do this. no matter what the cost. the republicans have caused this financial mess, they have signatured it into the history books. do not back down. take the big three off the table. make it a nonnegotiable issue. now's not the time. morally, this isn't the time and it's not the right place to have this dpiegt. force the republicans to negotiate on your terms. mr. president, why didn't you tell us at grant park th

this has to be viewed as a big night for the democrats. >> this is a very big deal, ed. the reps recruited fake candidates, and then they said, we're not going to campaign. we just wanted to put them on the ballot to delay things. in the last 36 hours before the elections, they spent thousands of dollars on robocalls, e-mails, placing signs around polling places and aggressive campaigning. you effectively saw the democratic and the republican operations in play in these primaries. the results tell the story. the democratic candidates won as much as 70% of the vote. many of them winning in the 60s as well. this was a very, very good night for democrats and a real signal that they appear to be ready for the august elections. >> what kind of turnout did you see in wisconsin today, and what does it mean for the general election in august? >> the turnout was much higher than many expected. we've never had elections in july in wisconsin. it's never happened like this before, so people didn't know what to expect. in all of these districts you had tens of thousands of people com

in other words, cuts to the big three. and, number five, of course, is the big one for republicans -- no tax hikes. boehner's plan is nothing but cut, cap, and balance, wrapped in a brand-new package and tried to be sold to the american people tonight. if you look at it side-by-side comparison, the two plans, boehner is a fool not to take reid's package. boehner's plan has 1.2 trillion in cuts. reid more than doubles the number with $2.7 trillion in cuts. so who's the honest player here? boehner has two debt limit votes and reid has one. let's get it done. reid's plan also has deep cuts to the pentagon budget, and it assumes that the wars are going to eventually end in iraq and afghanistan on a date, right? now, boehner's problem with the reid plan is that it takes the big three right off the table. and, of course, the real republican two-step is to kill the new deal and defeat of president obama and create more opportunities for more tax breaks at the top. neither one of these plans tonight, it must be pointed out that th
